Phil. S Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 You get to drive the bit that's public road... You can drive the length of the Mulsanne straight sans chicanes, the right at Mulsanne Corner, then the run down through Indianapolis and Arnage to the Porsche Curves, which is where the track proper takes over again. It'll be waaaaay too busy during the day, and there are roving speed traps there *all* the time... Even so, it sounds like it has to be done! Quote
Blatman Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Oh I suspect we will wonder down on Sunday evening for a bit of roundsabout spectating, not like we would of seen any motorsport for nearly 5 or 6 hours by then. We were a bit late, so camping way out of it in Beausejour this year. Beausejoir is the camp site of chioce at the moment for me and some friends of mine. Reports from friends that have been there for the last two years reveals not so desperate queues for the bogs/showers, and a free shuttle bus from the camp site gate to the track entrance. See you there Quote

Make sure your clutch is in good nick... Quote

It'll be waaaaay too busy during the day, and there are roving speed traps there *all* the time... I've found that the best time to hit it is at approx 08 : 00 on a Friday morning. I usually go for a quick blat around the circuit just before going off to the supermarket to stock up for the weekend. M Quote
Nick M Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Early on the Monday morning, before heading home, is also quite a nice time to get in that last 'lap' Quote
Blatman Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I'll see you in Arnage for coffee avec croissant on Monday morning Quote
gadrego Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 10.40 on Speedferries to Boulogne - I think? I didn't book the crossings... and we're camping in Houx Annexe courtesy of Team Langoustine so it shouldn't be too difficult to watch the nutters on the roundabout I'll be on Houx as well but with the SELOC bunch so if you see a blue with yellow noser surrounded by some horrible Elsies come and say hello.

matthew h Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I'll be on Houx as well but with the SELOC bunch so if you see a blue with yellow noser surrounded by some horrible Elsies come and say hello. I went a couple of years ago with SELOC - probably pop over for a beer Quote
Nick M Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I'll see you in Arnage for coffee avec croissant on Monday morning Oooh, now there's a thought ! Has your mobile phone number changed ? Quote

Camping in Beausejoir this year, and doing the pit lane on Friday as usual, like last time Just don't handle any clutches again Quote
